Talking about…whatever!

So it looks like Microsoft has caved and has officially taken off the online restrictions off of the Xbox One. Not only that, but it’ll also be region free now too! I got to say that I’m very impressed. I thought they would’ve been too proud to change their policies. Now that that’s taken off I can start taking the Xbox One a little more serious. Of course I still have my doubts about the system. It’s full of ads, requires Kinect, Microsoft’s IPs don’t interest me much, it’s $100 more expensive, and I don’t trust them in supporting the Xbox1 with core games in 3 or so years from now. How do I know that they’ll keep releasing games that I like and not go full on casual like they did with the 360, lastly how do I know that they won’t add the always online thing later on in the console’s life? Personally I have not trust or faith in Microsoft, you have to earn that shit and they certainly haven’t earned mine. But regardless, looks like Sony’s main selling point has just been taken off. Now that Sony charges for online the only thing that’s giving them the leg up is is being $100 cheaper. Now I hope this causes Sony to react and change their policy for multiplayer, you know, online play being free and to make up for that have different tiers of PS+(I’m already a PS+ member but still). Maybe Microsoft would do the same, you know? 😛 Seriously, multiplayer should never be behind a paywall, its annoying.

Kat and Emmet have finally been released for PlayStation All- Stars Battle Royale. They’ll be free for their first two weeks of release, after that they’ll each be $5(quite a hefty price for just one character if you ask me.) As a huge Gravity Rush fan I immediately picked Kat, and she stays very true to her game. she spends a lot of time floating and kicking just as you’d expect(also has Dusty as well, which for those of you who don’t know, is Kat’s source of power.) I haven’t played Starhawk, but Emmet is also quite enjoyable as well, he’s able to alternate between 3 different weapons, a rifle(his default), a shotgun, and some king of rocket launcher. The shotgun and rocket launcher do have ammo though so you’ll have to resupply them once you run out of bullets; plus he even has a turret!

There is also a new stage as well, Fearless. Which combines Heavenly Sword & Wipeout. While it cost $2 to play offline, you can don’t have to pay a cent to play it online which is a pretty neat feature and I hope all future stages are like that as well. New Minions have also been released, if you’re into that stuff.

Supposedly there’s supposed to be an announcment of future DLC in March but I don’t know if that’s still the case Since Sony has let go of Superbot, and let Santa Monica work on DLC instead.
